Hello, I have not been using the home directory but I read in MailLocation.txt that I probably should. Does dovecot create each directory? What does it put in there? My server uses mbox format. My users all look like this: [root at sendmail log]# finger chayes Login: chayes Name: 50387.00 Directory: /home/chayes Shell: /sbin/nologin Never logged in. Mail last read Mon Nov 16 19:56 2009 (CST) No Plan. So each user does have a home directory assigned, but it is never created. Here is my current mail_location: mail_location mbox:/var/empty:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/indexes/%u Do I just add the maildir component as follows: mail_location mbox:/var/empty:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/indexes/%u:maildir:/home /u% I'm confused by the MailLocation.txt entry below which says not to mix maildir and mbox formats. ---%<----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INBOX=~/Maildir/.INBOX ---%<----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Note that it's still not possible to mix maildir and mbox formats this way. You need to use<namespaces> [Namespaces.txt] for that. Thanks in advance, Cliff
